Default fender roll question

i just drop my car today with 1" drop i didnt think that i would need to roll my rear fenders,rear wheels are 17x7+42 offsets, with 235 tires and its rubbing i thought i did my calculations right. The question is that how do i roll the rear fenders and what tools do i use, thanks.

You shouldn't be rubbing in the rear.

You must be lowered more than one inch if you are rubbing.

Search online for eastwood fender roller. You will be able to find instructions for roller use.

You may also be able to find this information on S2ki.

i had 0 finger gap and i wasnt rubbing so its probaly not that. get it alligned with more camber in the rear and try that. if not sell those wheels (not a good size/offset) or roll your fenders.

I think that you should sell those wheels anyway. 7" rear is more narrow than the AP1 wheels.
